Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Xenon Bulb Replacement ?

« on: 08 November 2009, 09:45:35 »

I think the theory of bulb out/on its way out sounds about right....am I better off replacing both bulbs at once or shall I replace the "dodgy" one ? and any reccomendations of type etc before I pop down to Mr Halfords

Crikey its becoming quite technical now 

All I know is that driving back last evening and arriving home on "normal" headlight setting, the nearside shone as Id expect to shine (I have an X5 with Xenons so can only compare with that) BUT th offside was not the bright crisp white Xenon light but a dull orangy type....maybe the main beam HID light has gone and the offside is simply showing the sidelight bulb do we think

Yes Tunnie, the offside is what looks to me to be an ordinary light, orangy type....but the headlights themselves are the original so wondered wether someone has simply made an error in bulb replacement or could source the correct one at the time ?

Yes I think I mean HID bulb....sorry its all a bit new to me...

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Xenon Bulb Replacement ?

« on: 08 November 2009, 09:01:11 »

Ive tried a search....

One of the front Xenons "seems" to have been replaced by a nasty  "normal" bulb.....

Any advice on where and what to sort as a replacement and is it an easy fit.

Many thanks in advance.

Guys.....its a minefield and my head is spinning....I have a wanted ad in the for sale section and Ive been on ebay and autotrader for 2 days and have 3 lined up tomorrow but they vary soooooo much 

I wanted to buy Josh's off the for sale section but we just could get together to suit etc....

I'm hoping to own before end of the weekend....

Ive even been offered a mint 03 CDX 2.2 89k miles silver FSH @ £1700 but think it may be underpowered

I'm trying to understand the engine model differences....

I have several cars lined up to view from a mint Saloon 03 2.2 Elite 90k FSH Leather @ £1700......a 51 plate 2.6 saloon Elite 110k FSH @ £1200 and a MV6 3.2 saloon 2001 @ £1800

Are there major power differences ?

All are auto....

I do a mix of 50/50 motorway and urban driving....fuel/cost are unimportant !
